TITLE: No Turning Back: Protestant Disillusionment and Parade Violence in Northern Ireland
FACULTY SPONSOR: Dr. Jean Abshire
DISCIPLINE: Political Science
ABSTRACT:
Since 1998, Protestants in Northern Ireland have become increasingly disillusioned with the consequences of the Good Friday Agreement, and have increasingly clung to "traditional" parades as a way of asserting what they see as their besieged culture. This research examines the siege mentality that has gripped the Protestant community in Northern Ireland since the beginning of the Peace Process, and then examines how Parading fits into that context.

TITLE: Muted Tones: Nationalism, Repression, and Exploitation in the Soviet Period
FACULTY SPONSOR: Jean Abshire
DISCIPLINE: Political Science
ABSTRACT:
The October Revolution of 1917 had an immediate impact on every aspect of Russian life, including music. Most Russian artists had experienced a great deal of oppression under the Tsarist regime. The new government, however, presented an uncertain future for many musicians, leading many to leave the country. The repression that followed, although not immediate, unquestionably changed the development of music in Soviet Russia. This project examines the direct implications of nationalist sentiment and Soviet rule in the works of prominent Russian composers through the study of musicians' unions, government proclamations, and other documents.
